How do you avoid wanting carbs in the morning? I have strong cravings for bread/toast/bagels.

What I do is i put what i should eat out in front to see when I just wake up. For example, if I know Iโ€™m going to crave carbs in the morning, Iโ€™ll put my bagels and bread in a cabinet about my toaster so I wont thing about it when I first wake up. If I cant put what I should eat out on the counter over night, like if its yogurt or milk for cereal or eggs, Iโ€™ll leave a note on the fridge or on the counter. Something like, "Ooooo an egg burrito sounds amazing right now. especially with some red pepper and spinach." I hope that helps. :))

Carbs in the morning isnโ€™t bad if you balance it out with protein and fruit. An omelette with tomatoes to go along with your bread can be great. If you need to cut back on carbs try doing it gradually. Maybe less bread every couple weeks, or first switch to multi grain.

I donโ€™t avoid carbs. I choose smaller portions (1 slice) and load up on protein and veggies. I believe itโ€™s easier to maintain balance through portion control.

I donโ€™t avoid carbs in the morning, but I make sure to pair it with protein like an egg and spread my carbs with avocado instead of cheese or fats

Maybe try eating more protein instead.. if you normally eat 2 slices of bread, try eating one with scrambled eggs and bacon

I try my best to make the most out of the meals im preparing but filling them with healthy nutrients. For instance trying to add fruits/vegetables that i love to my breakfast or taking some time to cook something that doesnโ€™t contain carbs so my cravings can be satisfied.

I honestly donโ€™t try to not eat carbs in the morning. However, when I do I like to steer more to fruits or hearty protein instead. This satisfies my hunger for carbs while still letting me feel like iโ€™m eating a yummy breakfast!

I donโ€™t! Carbs are important, particularly in the morning. You need energy for the day ahead. Donโ€™t be so strict on yourself. Choose decisions that are good for your body, not just your waistline.

Well I like to get creative and experiment make meals fun that way itโ€™s not just a craving for avocado toast but a craving for something new
